* Provide portal proof functions in `aristo_api`
why:
So it can be fully supported by `CoreDb`
* Fix prototype in `kvt_api`
* Fix node constructor for account leafs with storage trees
* Provide simple path check based on portal proof functionality
* Provide portal proof functionality in `CoreDb`
* Update TODO list
* Updates and corrections
* Extract `CoreDb` configuration from `base.nim` into separate module
why:
This makes it easier to avoid circular imports, in particular
when the capture journal (aka tracer) is revived.
* Extract `Ledger` configuration from `base.nim` into separate module
why:
This makes it easier to avoid circular imports (if any.)
also:
Move `accounts_ledger.nim` file to sub-folder `backend`. That way the
layout resembles that of the `core_db`.
It is common for many accounts to share the same code - at the database
level, code is stored by hash meaning only one copy exists per unique
program but when loaded in memory, a copy is made for each account.
Further, every time we execute the code, it must be scanned for invalid
jump destinations which slows down EVM exeuction.
Finally, the extcodesize call causes code to be loaded even if only the
size is needed.
This PR improves on all these points by introducing a shared
CodeBytesRef type whose code section is immutable and that can be shared
between accounts. Further, a dedicated `len` API call is added so that
the EXTCODESIZE opcode can operate without polluting the GC and code
cache, for cases where only the size is requested - rocksdb will in this
case cache the code itself in the row cache meaning that lookup of the
code itself remains fast when length is asked for first.
With 16k code entries, there's a 90% hit rate which goes up to 99%
during the 2.3M attack - the cache significantly lowers memory
consumption and execution time not only during this event but across the
board.
* Fix initialiser
why:
Possible crash (app profiling, tracer etc.)
* Update column family options processing
why:
Same for kvt as for aristo
* Move `AristoDbDualRocks` backend type to the test suite
why:
So it is not available for production
* Fix typos in API jump table
why:
Used for tracing and app profiling only. Needed some update
* Purged CoreDb legacy API
why:
Not needed anymore, was transitionary and disabled.
* Rename `flush` argument to `eradicate` in a DB close context
why:
The word `eradicate` leaves no doubt what is meant
* Rename `stoFlush()` -> `stoDelete()`
* Rename `core_apps_newapi` -> `core_apps` (not so new anymore)
* bump rockdb
* Rename `KVT` objects related to filters according to `Aristo` naming
details:
filter* => delta*
roFilter => balancer
* Compulsory error handling if `persistent()` fails
* Add return code to `reCentre()`
why:
Might eventually fail if re-centring is blocked. Some logic will be
added in subsequent patch sets.
* Add column families from earlier session to rocksdb in opening procedure
why:
All previously used CFs must be declared when re-opening an existing
database.
* Update `init()` and add rocksdb `reinit()` methods for changing parameters
why:
Opening a set column families (with different open options) must span
at least the ones that are already on disk.
* Provide write-trigger-event interface into `Aristo` backend
why:
This allows to save data from a guest application (think `KVT`) to
get synced with the write cycle so the guest and `Aristo` save all
atomically.
* Use `KVT` with new column family interface from `Aristo`
* Remove obsolete guest interface
* Implement `KVT` piggyback on `Aristo` backend
* CoreDb: Add separate `KVT`/`Aristo` backend mode for debugging
* Remove `rocks_db` import from `persist()` function
why:
Some systems (i.p `fluffy` and friends) use the `Aristo` memory
backend emulation and do not link against rocksdb when building the
application. So this should fix that problem.
* Aristo: Generalise alien/guest interface for piggiback on database
* Aristo: Code cosmetics
* CoreDb+Kvt: Update transaction API
why:
Use single addressable function `forkTx(backLevel: int)` as used
in `Aristo`. So `Kvt` can be synced simultaneously to `Aristo`.
also:
Refactored `kvt_tx.nim` in a similar fashion to `Aristo`.
* Kvt: Replace `LayerDelta` object by reference
why:
Will be needed when introducing filters
* Kvt: Remodel backend filter facility similar to `Aristo`
why:
This allows to operate on several KVT instances simultaneously.
* CoreDb+Kvt: Fix on-disk storage
why:
Overlooked name change: `stow()` => `persist()` for permanent storage
* Fix copyright headers
* Aristo+Kvt: Better RocksDB profiling
why:
Providing more detailed information, mainly for `Aristo`
* Aristo: Renamed journal `stats()` to `capacity()`
why:
`Stats()` was a misnomer
* Aristo: Provide backend read caches for key and vertex IDs
why:
Dedicated LRU caching for particular types gives a throughput advantage.
The sizes of the LRU queues used for caching are currently constant
but might be adjusted at a later time.
* Fix copyright year
* Code cosmetics
* Aristo+Kvt: Fix api wrappers
why:
Api setup killed the backend descriptor when backend mapping was
disabled.
* Aristo: Implement masked profiling entries
why:
Database backend should be listed but not counted in tally
* CoreDb: Simplify backend() methods
why:
DBMS backend access Was provided very early and over engineered. Now
there are only two backend machines, one for `Kvt` and the other one
for an `Mpt` available only via new API.
* CoreDb: Code cleanup regarding descriptor types
* CoreDb: Refactor/redefine `persistent()` methods
why:
There were `persistent()` methods for any type of caching storage
facilities `Kvt`, `Mpt`, `Phk`, and `Acc`. Now there is only a single
`persistent()` method storing all facilities in tandem (similar to
how transactions work.)
For non shared `Kvt` tables, there is now an extra storage method
`saveOffSite()`.
* CoreDb lingo update: `trie` becomes `column`
why:
Notion of a `trie` is pretty much hidden by the new `CoreDb` api.
Revealed are sort of database columns for accounts an storage data,
any of which have an internal state represented by a Keccack hash.
So a `trie` or `MPT` becomes a `column` and a `rootHash` becomes a
column state.
* Aristo: rename backend filed `filters` => `journal`
* Update full sync logging
details:
+ Disable eth handler noise while syncing
+ Log journal depth (if available)
* Fix copyright year
* Fix cruft and unwanted imports
* Kvt: Update API hooks
* Aristo: Generalised merging snap proofs, now for multiple state roots
why:
This accommodates pre-loading partial tries for unit tests
* Aristo: Update some unit tests
* CoreDb+Aristo: Re-factor tracer
why:
Was bonkers anyway. The main change is that the trace journal is now
kept in a way similar to a transaction layer so that it can predictably
interact with DB transactions.
* Ledger: Debugging helper
* Update tracer unit test applicable for `Aristo`
* Fix copyright year
* Disable `dump()` function as compile time default
why:
This needs to pull in the `rocks_db` library at compile time.
* Aristo+Kvt: Fix backend `dup()` function in api setup
why:
Backend object is subject to an inheritance cascade which was not
taken care of, before. Only the base object was duplicated.
* Kvt: Simplify DB clone/peers management
* Aristo: Simplify DB clone/peers management
* Aristo: Adjust unit test for working with memory DB only
why:
This currently causes some memory corruption persumably in the
`libc` background layer.
* CoredDb+Kvt: Simplify API for KVT
why:
Simplified storage models (was over engineered) for better performance
and code maintenance.
* CoredDb+Aristo: Simplify API for `Aristo`
why:
Only single database state needed here. Accessing a similar state will
be implemented from outside this module using a context layer. This
gives better performance and improves code maintenance.
* Fix Copyright headers
* CoreDb: Turn off API tracking
why:
CI would ot go through. Was accidentally turned on.
* Aristo: Remove cruft
* Prettifying profile statistics printing & source code cosmetics
* Aristo/Kvt: API tools update
* CoreDb: Corrections, mostly API related
* CoreDb: Changed the tracer `logDb()` result
why:
Only the key-value table is used from the logger database
* CoreDb: Update legacy tracer
why:
The `contains()` directive did not correspond to `0 < get().len`
also:
Copy `CoreDb` meta settings like `trackLegaApi`, `trackNewApi`, etc. to
overlay tracer descriptor
* CoreDb: Extend/update tracer API
why:
Get ready for accommodating `Aristo` tracer
* Fix missing import
why:
Some CI compilers might have (cached?) a different NIM patch level
* Ditto
* Aristo/Kvt: Provide function hooks APIs
why:
These APIs can be used for installing tracers, profiling functoinality,
and other niceties on the databases.
* Aristo: Provide optional API profiling
details:
It basically is a re-implementation of the `CoreDb` profiling
implementation
* Kvt: Provide optional API profiling similar to `Aristo`
* CoreDb: Re-implementing profiling using `aristo_profile`
* Ledger: Re-implementing profiling using `aristo_profile`
* CoreDb: Update unit tests for maintainability
* update copyright dates
